Summer Deadlines for TOA are July 15, 2008 and September 1, 2008

Training and Organizational Assistance program (TOA) provides funds on a reimbursable basis for organizations to hire consultants or to attend capacity building training events.  Capacity building is work that increases a group's ability to achieve its mission and build long-term organizational sustainability.

TOA helps individual groups, coalitions and networks by covering up to 80% of the costs associated with this type of 'capacity-building.'  We can even help you identify appropriate consultants and training resources to choose from.  Grants generally range from $3,5-$5,000 per calendar year. The application deadlines for TOA proposals are the 1st day of each month except in cases where the first falls on a holiday or a weekend.

Please note that funding restraints, based on geography or other restrictions, may limit our ability to fund all of the qualified applications we receive each month.  To save time, organizations that fit the Environmental Support Center’s general eligibility guidelines are urged to speak with our staff before submitting an application.
